KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Najib Razak has denied taking selfies during court proceedings.
"I used it as a mirror to check my personal appearance," he said here when asked by High Court Justice Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali on Thursday .
The issue was brought up on the 16th day of Najib's corruption trial involving RM42mil in SRC International Sdn Bhd funds by ad hoc prosecutor Datuk V. Sithambaram, who asked the court to issue a directive or guideline, following a widely circulated news report that said Najib had took selfies in the courtroom.
Najib's lead counsel Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah then singled out a report by a news portal and the reporter who sat at the public gallery. "From where he was sitting, he seemed to be able to conclude that Najib was taking a selfie and concluded that he looked sad.Muhammad Shafee lambasted the portal further, saying it had started the"zero value" news report, which was later picked up by other news outlets. Sithambaram, in his reply, said the issue before the court was whether a selfie was indeed taken.The judge accepted the explanation, but reminded all parties of court rules.
